Cappuccino

Just saw the news on facebook.

Truly am shocked. Pete such a great guy who would always be willing to help out. He organsied so many great drives. He will be missed by many. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

RIP Big Fella :(

I have been taking mine to Sydney City Toyota in Waterloo as they are the only half decent Toyota Service centre that is open on a Saturday.

Great wheel. I just think its a little under tyred. I think a higher profile tyre should look better.

Thanks for organising Pete! I still haven't had a chance to go through my pics but I didn't really take too many was too busy enjoying the drive.

Hey Pete,

Do you mind if I post this up on Gt86.com.au? Wouldn't mind getting some other 86 owners out.

Let us know what you think.

If they drive and act like dicks, it will be the first and last time they are invited, otherwise sure go ahead.

I totally agree. I plan on making sure people understand that

Also Robertson do have EFTPOS. I was there on Sunday lol

Very nice mate :) Mind if I ask where those first photos are taken, with the old petrol station and statue?

They were taken at Putty Road at the Halfway House. Really cool spot there is a guy there that does Sausage Sangas and Beacon and Egg Rolls.

Good feedback!

First thing I would be doing is removing the dealer billboards (aka number plate surrounds). Makes a much cleaner look.

I wouldn't be able to handle anything hanging from the mirror, as it would swing around and probably hit me in the face when going around a nice/fun corner.

Yellow plates are only a tempory thing. Just waiting for my plates to come in....honestly it doesn't bother me I can't see it while I am driving ;)

why don't you buy the optional pack, the spoiler is hot... I don't like the factory look of 86 without spoilers and skirts.I like NA cars, they roar at high RPM which is fun

If I want are shopping trolley I would head down to the local Coles. Aero pack does nothing for me and I wasn't going to pay extra 4k on top for something I would hate. Clean and simple is the way to go.

Love the new ride mate!

Cheers mate! We gotta catch up soon!

loving the interior, black and red stitching

One of the main reasons I went for the GTS. All the little extras.

The local performance workshop claims that they can dyno tune a stock standard BRZ , and achieve 15nm more torque and 10kw more power.

They are also investigating exhaust mods.

This weekend at WTAC its going to be interesting to see what workshops have installed.

Interesting! :D

Congratulations, I know a lot of people that have queued up for the GTS.. 17 month wait leaves me to queston whether it's really worth it..

Cant wait to see what you have instore for it :-) Congrats again

Thanks mate! I wouldn't hold your breath. The car is staying stock. Money spent on wheels etc I will be putting towards my Cappuccino when that car is finished then I may look at doing some stuff to the 86.

Congrats on the new ride! Question, i noticed you had an extra switch next to the side mirror controls, does the GTS have folding mirrors?!? Cheers Steve!

Yep it sure does! Thankfully they didn't remove that when they imported them. Comes in real handy.

Downshiftaus recently asked for me to write an article....bare in mind this is the first time I had to write something and it is my opinion only.

Car has hit just over 2,000kms and I am loving every minute of it. Since I was doing the above article I also decided to take some more pics. Hopefully new plates should be here this weekend.

Awesome meet! it was great to see some old faces and meet some new ones! Its been too long since my last meet! Will definitely try and make the next one.

Use import bible's website to view in English...thats what I do when I'm searching for Cappuccino parts :) Best searching using the chassis code so ZN6.

Should be there by about 8:30

Haha I don't have any spare drivers lol. I may be running a little late. Got my dates mixed up. But will try and get there on time.

Thanks mate ;) hopefully see you then!

Yep, that's the one, and it's 7.30pm not 8.00pm

Someone played with my post...

You coming down Jon?

Yahoo Japan has some TRD spoilers for sale and there not that expensive either ;)

^ hey Will its at greenarce maccas. I believe there's a map on the first page u can have a look at. Can't wait to see the 86 :D

Much planned for it?

Nice car, I was almost going to get that colour as my old Corolla used to be similar :D, Congrats dude and was gonna reply on GT86 forum but here is just as good lol

Thanks mate! It seems the Grey is actually a subbie colour. Congrats on your one too ;)

Whats the plan for this month? Its been too long since I have been to a meet.

Hey everyone,

I know I have been a bit quiet of the past 12months with changing jobs I just don't have that much time in front of a PC like I use too. But I am now back in a Toyota. My Yellow Lexus IS200 is going to be sold as I just picked a Tornado Grey Manual GTS. All I can say is this car has exceed my expectations for a standard the car. The handle and the power are great. Power isn't as bad as what people are making it out to be. Its very useable if your in the right gear and more than enough to get in you trouble.

Here are some pics I took yesterday.

Hey everyone looks like I am out for the weekend as I will still be in Canberra for work.

hope you all bave a good day.

Its been awhile since I have been on the forums I will try my best to get out on the 29th problem with the new job I am barely in front of a pc anymore!
